PASSPORT: ISSUE AND FORMAT
1.
In whose name will the passport be issued?
LINE TO TAKE
B13
At present the Governor issues passports to BDTCs in Hong Kong in the name of
Her Majesty. It would be inappropriate for passports issued to BN (0)s which will
remain valid beyond 30 June 1997 to be issued by the Governor. BN (0) passports
will therefore be issued from the start by "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of
State" as at present in the UK and consular posts abroad.

What will the new format be?
LINE TO TAKE
In order to fit in with an EC common format, and our decision that UK passports
should be machine-readable, the new passport will in due course be burgundy-red,
soft-covered and smaller than the present blue document. On the cover will be
the wording "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", the Royal
Coat of Arms and the word "Passport". The wording on the inside cover will refer
to "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State".
